Released this year by Deep Silver, Dead Island 2 is a role-playing action game. This is the third installment in the Dead Island video game series. Like zombies? This one might actually be for you. California and Los Angeles are quarantined, and the hordes of zombies are far more powerful than those we encountered in Dead Island.
But we are assuming you know all this if you are here today. Rikky’s House is a spot in Dead Island 2 to which you can fast-travel. Upon landing at Venice Beach and solving The Red Mist Story Quest, you can go to Rikky at any point in time, and he will give you another task to move forward in the game. Today, we will help you clear the task that Rikky gives you, which is titled the Ballad of Rikky Rex.
Where is the Ballad of Rikky Quest?
As soon as you get to Venice Beach and get your hands upon fast travel, head to Beverly Hills, and you should find the quest there. Do note this unlocks only if you have completed Resurrect the Rex Quest. When you talk to Rikky at his house in the hills, he will ask you for his guitar that has been rotting in the old house that he used to live in before.
The only problem is the guitar is stored upstairs in the old house, and that room is locked. Yes, there is indeed a key, but Rikky’s bandmates have kinda been guarding it. Oopsies!

How to Get the Guitar?
Now, this is going to be one hell of a task. But we are going to walk you through it. We assume you are now standing in front of the house. Do you see that fence over there? Run over to it and jump to get inside. Well, you can’t ring the doorbell at such times, can you?
Alright, we are now in the vicinity. Since we are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, keep an eye on them. You don’t want to be zombied just yet. Head to the giant mansion on the southern side of the place. Get inside. You need not jump over fences, and the gate should be fine.
Sneak to the backside of the mansion. There is a swimming pool. Well, no, you need not jump in here to get anything. Just go around it and through the door, only to find everything is locked. So, what do you do? Where is the key?
Misha has it. She is one of the members of Rikky’s bandmates. They have been turned into zombies. So you can’t just go and ask for the key. What do you do? Well, easy. Step 1, eliminate Misha. But how? Let’s call her to us.
Do you see a stage near the pool? You should find a music system. Jam some beats! Get ready for the zombie attack, though. Kill each one. You will eventually come across Misha. She will lose the key once you knock her down. Grab it!
Now let’s get our stuff and get out of here. Run upstairs with your key and open the door. The chopper is in Rikky’s room next to the staircase. Oh, FYI, the guitar is titled the chopper. Unfortunately, Rikky’s room is locked too.
We don’t have a key for that. Go further down the passage and get inside the mixing studio. Do you see a glass door? That goes to the balcony. Head out and into the balcony of Rikky’s room. That will be the second one.
Once you are in the room, open his closet, and you should see the beauty sitting right there. Take it, and go back over to Rikky to give it to him. Don’t forget the zombies. They always keep coming.
What’s in it for You?
Well, hand the chopper to him, and he will give you a beautiful sword to fight the zombies further in the game. Mind you, it is not an ordinary sword. It is an O-Kami and Whiskey Sword with an XP of over 2000. Crazy, right?
